@DoubleDeuce @WilliamHogeland “us” means americans living in 2022. the most obvious thing it could mean. i answered your question, please answer mine. why did you assume i am making an argument about race here? — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@DoubleDeuce @WilliamHogeland fun fact, i have written extensively on the electoral college on here and in my column and race has never been a part of my argument against it, so again, what gives? — PolitiTweet.org

@WilliamHogeland in their great wisdom the founders agreed that the best way to choose the president was by giving all of the relevant decision making power to the residents of a handful of closely competitive states under a two party system — PolitiTweet.org

@DoubleDeuce @WilliamHogeland where did i say anything about race? and why do you assume i am talking about race here? — PolitiTweet.org

@WilliamHogeland the people who say this sincerely believe that the electoral college we have was designed with us in mind in 1787 — PolitiTweet.org

@Econ_Marshall it is legitimately bewildering to me. first he says the column is an argument that the culture war is all that matters. then he says it is an argument that the culture war will make progress on class inequality. neither is found anywhere in the text. — PolitiTweet.org

@samhaselby You didn’t disagree with me, you misrepresented the column. And my response to you was to point out the misrepresentation. But I see the game you’re playing now, so sure. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@samhaselby If all I do is write nonstop about cultural conflict it should be pretty easy to establish a pattern of behavior! — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@samhaselby But I’m going to ask the question again, because citing the handful of occasions on which I wrote about the history curriculum stuff doesn’t really prove the point. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@samhaselby I’m assuming that your pretty breathtaking misrepresentation of my column was poor reading comprehension rather than just ordinary dishonesty. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@samhaselby Sam, something tells me you have no real sense of what I write at the Times and are simply slotting me into “culture warrior” for reasons that may be clear to you but are opaque to me. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@samhaselby @henryfarrell hey sam, since you’re not going to respond to my response that you are willfully misreading my column, i want to ask you what in my work at the new york times makes you think that i am primarily a “culture warrior?” — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@jleyser because i don’t like people misrepresenting or lying about my work — PolitiTweet.org

interesting the people who seem to believe that my column is a compendium of “woke” outrages despite the total absence of that stuff from my output — PolitiTweet.org

i am sorry that @samhaselby is apparently unable to grok a clearly stated and argued thesis, but that is not my problem. i would appreciate it, however, if he would keep his poor reading comprehension to himself — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

the explicit argument of the column — so explicit that i hammer it into the reader at least four separate times — is that reactionary culture warring is the spear tip of an assault on public goods and collective action for the sake of preserving hierarchies of wealth & status — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

here are paragraphs 1, 2, 5 and 12, which clearly state what the thrust of the column is https://t.co/dOHEz8iUbu — PolitiTweet.org
